Trivia

X-DEN's title card.

• X-DEN was added to beatmania IIDX 26 Rootage on February 26th, 2019 as the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE in celebration of the 20th anniversary of beatmania IIDX's release. To access it, EX-HARD clear all three stages plus the EXTRA STAGE. The difficulty of X-DEN is determined by the difficulty of the EXTRA STAGE song, e.g. clearing an ANOTHER chart will give you X-DEN's ANOTHER chart.
